Who am I?

I am a mid-life mother who works for my two daughters otherwise known as a stay-at-home mom. Our family grew with the entrustment of each of our daughters and their birth families. We live in very open adoptions. I am a blogger sharing first our journey to parenthood and subsequently our life today which includes me living with peri-menopausal symptoms and our raising two girls who are currently pre-adolescent with all the daily trials and tribulations of our wonderful family life. I am a one a day coffee drinker, and at least one a day wine drinker!

8 years

It’s hard to believe our eldest daughter turns 8 years old today. How is it possible she’s already reached this milestone?

We remind ourselves on this day that you are the light in our lives, you bring us joy and happiness, you do keep us on our toes and you are a wonder to watch as we see you growing into the strong, smart, beautiful young lady you are today!

It is not lost on us that our dreams came true on this day because of others and the decisions they made in choosing us to be parents. Everyday we realize how blessed we are to have our daughter. Each and every year we see our blessings grow watching her grow from a newborn. Now at eight, our conversations about her adoption story and our family have grown and her understanding of our family has deepened. We see you seeing us as part of your whole each piece of your family making you into one!

Happy Birthday to our beautiful princess! May your year ahead be as happy as your first 8 have been!
